What is your I.Q?

about 5 years ago i scored a 140 and that was when i was retarded back in 8th grade when i couldn't calculate doppler shift

... Why is that such a stretch, really?

Because this is the internet, where everyone is an armchair lawyer, bad IT advice is thrown out by a bunch of n00b's who can throw together a gaming rig and think that makes them experts, and pretty much everyone lies. Any one of these may not apply to you, but I continue to see that much crap advice or obvious lies on this (and other) sites, that it makes me a cynical bastard.

It also means that at times I will go for a confirmation and probe a few questions just to be sure that the rest of us are not being subjected to one of these armchair types. Even if I don't have the full facts ahead of me, some not-so-delicate probing is enough to find the majority who are BS'ing.

And finally... I'm not sure, but I think you insulted me in the last paragraph there. Don't judge a book by its cover.

I probably did, but only because you are a member of the human race who has not proven to meet my own standards, and are thus considered worthy of my scorn.

I buy books based on their covers all the time - covers have blurbs and parts of the story attached to them. You can learn a lot by the cover of a book (though occasionally you miss a good read).

Anyway, this has pretty well seen me engage in a bit of thread-no-mancy to finish off my side of the discussion, so I will just finish by pointing out that a friend of mine did the Weschler for the second time in 6 months today and got a 23 point difference to her last test. Not bad for testing at the same centre.

The only thing an IQ shows is how good you are at IQ tests.

That being said, last time I took it, it was 154, but I don't give a shit. If it was 80 I wouldn't care. Its all bullshit.

Well if i got 80 and all IQ showed is how good you are at iq tests i would be pretty choked up that i'm that bad at IQ tests.

I just did an iq test and it was 118, i did a different tq test a month earlier and it was 118. I am 15

My last IQ test put at 140. That said, I went on to become an engineer specialising in computer vision and robotics.

The last time I took an IQ test was when I was 5. After that, they took me away from my parents and launched me into space, where I learned how to command armies of other kids like myself. A few years later, they tricked me into massacring an entire alien species.

All because my test result read: I AM LORD VOLDEMORT
